1t was nat handsome face, but IL was
something better. There was power and
tenderness in the frank, darkly gray eyes
there was a rugged strength in the large
and clearly-cut features, and the auburn
mustache shaded full red lips curved in
lines which were simply beautiful
''lf you would only let me care for you,
child, always" he said wistfplly
Estelle shook her golden head. Her
heart was scarcely prepared ia As Veaught

Ing, 81 must get work to do-teach-

."Then we must try and find something
not too laborious for you," Mr.. Denning
said, with sigh. e..
Upon Lyle Denning had been imposed
the responsibility of settling the complex
financial affairs OF her late protectress.
He was a gentleman of some emnence
and considerable wealth, and one whom
Estelle had long regarded with profound
confidence and esteem.
Indeed her esteem for him had been so
reverential that she had never dreamed he
could possibly care for herGs she now knew
he cared.
But now with sense of humiliation so
new and poignant, she felt she must not
listen to the pleadings of his love-such an
honor was not for one like her!
Now for the good should receive.

"Go slow, my friends" says tie
proverb, ''yeu have time and eternity
both before you" Well, in Kansas
it's different. We have to rustic to
keep up with the bowling present,
and If tor an instant we stop, the
slow measured tread of time from
the vaults of the mildswed past
crates harshly on the ear. 1t may
do to talk of gong slow, but not in
Kansas, if you would prosper. One
must act quickly, decIsively and

p oirats Of the Prestde,at's
Tour.

From the Chicago Mail.
A man armed with huge carving
knife tried to how of a chunk of the
Pullman car in which the party trav-
els, for relic, but was prevented.
The crowd at she Union Depot in
Columbus, o., st O'Clock in the
morning, was greatly disappointed
because the president did not get up
10 groet them.
The reception in the Indians capt
tai the president stood with his hands
behind him and simply bowed to the
crowd. Nobody was allowed to
shake hands with him.
The man who fred the signal rock
ct on the arrival of the party in St.
Louis nearly shot it through the pres
ident's hat. The ladies were scared,
but nobody was hurt.
Gris Prsther was one of the presi-
dents body guards in escorting him
from the tram to the house Of Mayor
Francis. How it happened that Joe
Hickey was absent the rest of this
country can't understand.
The party attended church Sunday
with Mayor Francis and family.
Most of the congregation rose as
they marched down the aisle TO the
Mayors pew. After services they
were taken for drive about the city.
The story that the president rushed
from his carriage to the train in
Washington, as though he was afraid
he would get left and left Mrs. Cleve-
land to come along by herself as best
she could, is probably base libel.
Nearly all the notices for the pre-
liminary meetings in St. Louis have
been headed. "Attention Demo
cratsl" The collector of the port
has been issuing uniform hats to all
democrats who are TO march in the
PROCESSION.
Delegations of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union have
greeted the train at several points
and presented Mrs. Cleveland with
bouquets. Generally they have had
some design with glass turned
about them.
An Alabama editor is getting ready
to.receive the party with ticket for
1888, headed by Grover Cleveland
and tailed by Thomas H. Watts, who
was attorney general of the confed-
eracy and is still one of JEFF Davis
warmest admirers.
The.special train was stopped and
the party landed at the Illinois end
of the big bridge Saturday night, and
the president was taken across tho
Missouri in a carriage. The big
bridge was blaze with fire works
while the party was passing.
Mrs. Cleveland's maid got seps-
arated from the party as they landed
in St. Louis. Bob Tansy found her
and escorted her to the party. Those
who knew Bob Tansy will undor-
stand how greatfully he would do
thing of this kind.
Mrs. Senator Mcdonald and Mrs.
Vice-President Hendricks each gave
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland reception
and lunch. The Two ladies have
long been social rivals in Indianapo-
lis. The two lunches were eaten
about a half an hour apart.
An enthusiastic admirer climed on
to the presidential carriage as the
party WAS leaving the state-house
grounds at Indianapolis, and would
not be coaxed or driven off by the
police. But when Mrs. Cleveland
said please, sir, do get down." he
got
Men climbed up on top of the cars
and down between them nearly on
the Presidents shoulders at Pitts
burgh because the guard kept them
from rushing at him as they wished
to. The president showed some
signs of temper and refused to

Gently launched by Alva Udell, in Colusa
county, is that of the Excelsior Water Com
pany, whose principal place of business is

in connection with the scheme, that our
readers at home and abroad may have
some definite idea of the magnitude of this
undertaking. The incorporation papers
which are now on file in the clerks office
in this city make known the following
facts: The company is styled the Excel

prises of Northern California There is no
doubt but eastern Yuba and western Ne
vada will undergo the most radical changes
within the next two years of any sectio On of
the globe in an equal length of time. The
foothills will be covered with vines and
fruit trees, comfortable cottages, the homes
of industrious households will nestle in all
the little valleys, alfalfa, corn and wheat
will be growing luxuriantly where desola-

under the blessing and kiss of the abund-

hills and little valleys of Yuba, we shall
expect 10 see a veritable Eden spring up.
